For the last 4 or 5 days I've been unable to get the Sinfest website or these forums to load on my screen. It always just times out before anything appears onscreen.

I'm actually at my work right now, in their internet cafe. Thats the only way I could find to even post this.

I've tried cleaning out my temp files and cookies and using Firefox, and nothing helps. I thought at first I had been IP banned for some reason, but if this account is still active, then surely that cant be right?

Anyone got any information or advice for a man starved of his daily Sinfest fix?

I don't have any of those problems. Oh, sometimes it is unbearably slow (15 sec to load? Noooo!) but no random logging out or anything like that. I am on a mac and I use Safari. I encourage all of you to do the same. Firefox and Opera are acceptable replacements for Safari._________________Before God created Las he pondered on all the aspects a woman might have, he considered which ones would look good super-inflated and which ones to leave alone.

I'm having issues on occasion at both home and work where Sinfest times out.

At home I'm also having issues with my ISP redirecting me to a search page when I try to access AllMusic.com (said page saying that such website does not now nor has it ever existed), and who knows what might be causing that one.

I tried Allmusic.com, just to see.
It got there for me, but it was sloooooow.
If it still doesn't work, try seeing what [url]63.214.183.117[/url] gets you._________________Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"

I dont think its a problem with traffic. It doesnt matter when I try to access Sinfest, day or night, it never appears. When I get home from work I'm going to try re-installing IE and see if that helps.

You picked the worst site to test with. All music gets timeouts on regular basis, I can't tell you how many times I got timeouts during a search.
I love allmusic by the way, I used to dream of memorizing the entire site._________________Tsosm! Hydrogen fuel and Grumpy Cat coffee

That's funny, me too. And I've just viewed the comic and posted a new thread. It only happened when I hit "Reply" on this thread, but was fine when I hit "Quote". Ironically, I was also going to reply that I'd had no problems when the reply timed out. Otherwise, though, access to Sinfest has been normal for as far back as I can recall... it may be something to do with Tat's install of phpbb (who manages that, anyway?).

Actually thought it was going to work today. The first time I clicked Sinfest in my favourites list the site loaded, but the comic was a red x. When I cleared out my temp files and hit refresh though, the page timed out per usual, and it refused to load again after that.

I'm lucky I'm working right now, or I'd be completely Sinfest free right now.
